Providing safe and secure housing solutions for those on the recovery journey

Welcome to Ara’s Housing & Homelessness services, where our mission is to provide safe and supportive housing solutions for individuals experiencing homelessness or housing insecurity due to drug or alcohol misuse. Our team is committed to working tirelessly to ensure that those in need have access to the shelter and stability they deserve.

Recovery is somewhere to live, something to do and something to love.

Pathway 4 is a comprehensive support service designed to assist individuals experiencing homelessness or who are at risk of homelessness due to drug or alcohol misuse, helping to find stable housing to build recovery. Our dedicated team of professionals provide personalised assistance and guidance throughout the process, ensuring that each person’s unique needs are met.

Preparation Intake

The highest level of support. We accept people on substitute medication if required, with an expectation of being free from Class A drugs after admission. We can accept people at the beginning of an alcohol detox. We provide in-house recovery groups, counselling, and stabilisation activities.

Bristol Housing First

This service supports people with long-term or repeat histories of rough sleeping and complex needs, for whom traditional homelessness approaches haven’t worked. Clients often face challenges rooted in past trauma or adverse experiences, such as time on the streets, in care, or in prison.

Ara’s Housing First project provides 30 clients in Bristol with self-contained housing. We adhere closely to UK Housing First principles, offering long-term, strengths-based, flexible support that connects clients with services across sectors. Housing is unconditional, and support continues even if a tenancy fails.

Providing specialist housing support to those in need
